Police compliance with the law is one of the most important aspects of a democratic society. Americans
expect the police to enforce laws to promote safety and to reduce crime, victimization, and fear, but no one
believes that the police should have unlimited power to do so. We expect police to enforce laws fairly
according to law and rules that circumscribe their enforcement powers. The existence of these rules justify
the claim that police are a rule-bound institution engaged in the pursuit of justice and the protection of
individual liberties, as well as the battle against crime. This article reviews research on the extent to which
police follow laws and rules, especially constitutional criminal procedure rules, addressing seizures,
searches, interrogations, and deadly force. Also reviewed is research pertaining to police adherence to
rules governing excessive force, corruption, and racial profiling.
